The Argentine Football Association ordered this Saturday that a minute of silence be held

The Argentine Football Association (AFA) ordered this Saturday that a minute of silence be held in the matches of all its categories, after the death of César Gustavo “Lolo” Regeuiro, a fan of Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, who lost his life during the incidents recorded in the match against Boca.
The first match that was played on the day was that of Barracas Central and Sarmiento de Junín, where the players joined in the midfield and dedicated the heartfelt tribute to the 57-year-old man who died as a result of a cardiorespiratory arrest, when he received CPR maneuvers in the middle of an excessive handling by the authorities who repressed with rubber bullets and tear gas. This action was repeated in the matches of First National and those that will be played in the rest of the day, although the fact was highlighted in the match of San Lorenzo and Vélez, by the Professional League, in which the local public accompanied with silence and once the 60 seconds were over, they attacked the police singing “the one who does not jump is a button”. For its part, Gimnasia once again repudiated the “excessive actions” of the Buenos Aires Police in the violent repression exercised on Thursday in the Forest, and will ask to be considered a “victim” and “particular victim” in the judicial investigations. In addition, he questioned the role of the Agency for the Prevention of Violence in Sport (Aprevide) and demanded the clarification of the events that occurred outside the stadium and made himself available to the family of César “Lolo” Regueiro, the fan who died of a decompensation when he tried to leave the stadium. Gimnasia, in full consternation for the death of the fan and the dozens of injured left by the unfortunate event, will visit Banfield this Sunday for the twenty-fourth date of the Professional League.
